When incorporated into flame detectors and gas detectors, the HART communication protocol enables efficient device set up, maintenance, and diagnostics.

Set up: Whether in the control room or in the field, users can configure or change device settings using a variety of tools -– Det-Tronics’ FlexVu® Universal Display, a HART communicator, or an asset management system.

Maintenance: Modifications to device settings are simple with HART protocol. By sending a single command, a user can perform many tasks such as reviewing logs or adjusting alarm and warning set points. In addition, a user can accurately assess device conditions (such as fault frequency) and prepare for tasks before venturing into the field.

Diagnostics: Automatically generated event logs present viewable history and possibilities for improvements. Time- and date-stamped records of activities such as calibration and device replacement provide regulatory-compliance evidence for system audits.

All of Det-Tronics X-Series flame detectors and many of its gas detectors are HART enabled. If you have questions, please contact us at RSS@det-tronics.com.

Optical flame detectors are ideal for rapid fire detection in turbine enclosures. Properly placed detectors can spot and annunciate fires quickly before they cause damage.

Most current ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), UVIR, and multi-IR detectors see fires that are typically associated with turbine enclosures: natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and lubrication oil. Therefore, selecting a detection technology for use in a turbine enclosure depends more on false-alarm rejection and maintenance. For that reason, multi-IR and IR detectors are (more…)
